The '''Mandekalu Cavalry''' is very similar to the normal [[Knight (Civ5)|Knight]], with the exception of the penalty against cities, which is removed. It also requires less production to build. Thus, the [[Songhai (Civ5)|Songhai civilization]] is able to stage lightning assaults against cities during the Medieval Era, which are very difficult to counter.
